An .htaccess file is a text file that includes directives which tell a web server how to act in certain situations. It needs to be placed in the folder in which these directives should be performed. A lot of script-driven apps employ this kind of a file to work correctly - WordPress and Joomla™, for instance. You can use this kind of a file with customized content too and do a lot of things - block an IP address, an entire network or specific websites from accessing your site, set custom error pages that shall appear instead of the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, direct a domain or a subdomain to another web address, set up a password-protected area plus much more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have far better control over your online presence.
